This is not good at all. Just when I thought that things would be under control, the political unrest situation in Thailand had suddenly gotten much much worse. The situation had gotten so bad, that Mother had decided to cancel her plans to visit Father in Thailand. The People's Alliance for Democracy protestors had closed down Don Mueang International Airport a day after closing down Suvarnabhumi Airport, leaving Bangkok without any airports. The international transferring was moved to the closest U-Tapao International Airport, but it will take more than 3 hours to reach Bangkok.
And then there's more disheartening news such as this...
- A series of terrorist attacks (started on Wednesday evening) in Mumbai, India, kills at least 125 and injures hundreds. (reminds me too much of the Bali bombings a few years back)
- Brazilian officials declare a state of emergency as flooding in the Southern state of Santa Catarina causes at least 99 deaths and forces the evacuation of over 78,000 people. (reminds me of the recent cyclone in Myanmar and the tsunami in South East Asia years ago)
